Sadly, I need to agree with you. I have two laptops, two client desktop
workstations and a server here at home, and all at one time were running
SuSE Linux. Now, because of reliability issues, only one client
workstation and the server are running Linux. Once I can find the time
to migrate the workstation to XP-Pro without losing email and such,
we'll be down to just the server running Linux.
That's because I can't afford to administer a home domain with Server
2008, and we DO find it convenient to share resources among our
computers. And I don't like to reboot a server every time Microsoft
releases a update - it's not a big issue with a workstation.
I'm not going to reiterate all the problems I've had - I doubt I've had
any that haven't been reported already. The cumulative effect is simply
this: I don't enjoy using Linux nearly as much as I used to, and the
plain truth is, I don't have to.
Thunderbird and Firefox run just fine on Windows, as does FileZilla and
just about everything else I could want. There is plenty of good
open-source software for Windows as well. Linux - to me, anyway - just
doesn't offer the advantages that it once did. Maybe Windows (with the
exception of Vista) is just getting better? Dunno.
